Hello,

As my name indicates, in my saddle search I am still looking for "the one". I got into road biking last year and have a few hundred miles under my belt (including my first metric century this past weekend).

I am currently riding a Selle Italia "Lady Gel Flow". It is a big improvement over saddles that I've had in the past, but I'm still getting chafed in the soft tissue area and the rubbing on my inner thigh makes me think that it is a little too wide for me. I'm pretty sore after this last weekend's ride.

Has anyone ridden both the "Lady Gel Flow" and the "Diva Gel Flow"? The Diva appears to be a little narrower (153mm vs 160mm wide), firmer (?), and has a larger cutout. I feel like I'm pretty close with the "Lady" and am leaning towards trying the "Diva" but am hoping that someone can comment on the firmness and width (I'm seeing differing reports) before I drop $125 on one.

I've been going with progressively firmer saddles and it seems to be the right direction for me. Switching from "gel" chamois shorts to thinner padded ones has also helped.

Thanks,
ST
